No Star. Is that an OMM on the reverse? Or is it just the photo?

 

It seems you’re all strictly against a star, but this Morgan $1 actually got one. MS65* I told you the pictures don’t do this coin justice.

Floor is open

 

I'd like to add that both obverse and reverse are near proof like with major luster that the pics can't capture.

 

No Star

 

The semi-pl/near pl on both sides could factor into a star.
However, if I only have the photo and am only looking at the toning, I'd say:
No Star

 

I don’t think the photo is doing that coin justice, I say it gets a star

 

Color is pretty but too many distracting marks on obverse. No Star

 

I like this bag toned 1880-S and feel it's worthy of a star.

 

It's a MS-64 star. It did get one. It's difficult to fully capture all that's going on with this coin. The San Francisco mint seems to have made a lot of very nice Morgans during this time period.

How about this one?
Had to angle it a little to capture all of the toning in one shot so one side is a bit out of focus.

 

Negative

 

I tend to like some of these darker ones (like I mentioned recently), but it's generally been accepted that this later stage toning is a NO star.

 

No star

 

This 1886 looks like the one I posted, I like it! If I were the star master, I would put one on this guy.

 

Yes to a Star. If the 1880-S got a star then this deserves one.

 

No star
